If you are concerned about seeing the full version of every window as you cycle through the AltTab list, there is a registry hack you can do to make it at least delay before doing that. The full question/answer can be seen herehere, but the important part is this:

Open Registry Editor and create the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AltTab.

In that key, create the following DWORD value: LivePreview_ms and set it to the delay (in milliseconds) of the first live preview.

Restart Explorer to see the changes.

I don't think you can delay it permanently by setting a super high number, but it will give at least a decent amount of time for you to tab around before it starts popping windows all over the place.
